He said they did some plumbing work on the shop earlier this year. Prior to the second quarter coliform sample. Second quarter coliform sample taken on 6/19/18 and non detect. I sent him the well disinfection document and will be meeting George on site by early next week. Update 09/25/2018: System shocked last week and 2 coliform samples taken in distribution on 9/21/18 came back positive for TC. Samples labeled repeats, should have been labeled special. System will be shocked system again and take more special samples. Update 09/26/2018: Jeron shocked the well and only used 3/4 cup chlorine. I informed him he would need 2.25 cups 8 chlorine. He also wasnt sure how old the chlorine was. He will purchase new chlorine and use 2.25 cups chlorine and shock the well again tomorrow. He will take a couple special samples early next week. Update 10/09/2018: Spoke to George today. They shocked the well again last week. They followed the disinfection guidelines and took two samples in distribution. One sample came back Total Coliform positive. I recommended they contact a professional to come out and shock the system for them. George will let me know when they have that scheduled. Update 11/07/2018: Spoke to George. System has been shocked a total of 3 times since they went on a Boil Notice. Theyve taken numerous special samples and none of them have been ecoli positive. Several are total coliform positive and the others are non-detect. I recommended they take another source sample. Lifted 12/04/2018: System replaced three faucets and then shocked the system again. Two specials and one routine sample taken 11/26-11/28 and all non-detect. Boil notice lifted. Update 12/04/2018: Forgot to include COLI18243 |
